We’ve been pretty quiet on here, but that does not mean we have not been busy!

Today we started processing two placentas with a third in line for tomorrow.

Wishing everyone health and happiness in this new year! 💚

As beautiful as hand-blown glass.

The vessels of the umbilical cord.
2 arteries and a vein.
(Students learn to remember this by the name AVA)

In a fetus’ cord, arteries and veins are backwards from those in our bodies living outside of wombs.

Arteries carry blood away from the heart. (A for Away)

The blood leaves the body and goes to the placenta. It is less oxygenated.

In veins, the blood is toward the heart. This is oxygen-rich blood coming from the placenta.

The vein is large and open to allow for full perfusion of blood to the baby. The arteries are smaller and stiffer. They can be seen sticking out of the cord if it is cut.

Let these vessels do their jobs. Keep them intact until the placenta is born. (And then as long as the parents want to!)

Link to proposed rules can be found in previous posts on this page.

Optional script: Here is a suggested script if you want to elaborate on your support or opposition to the rules.
“I'm (NAME) from (TOWN, OKLAHOMA DISTRICT), and I generally support the rules as written. I find them to make a reasonable effort to protect consumer choice or provider and autonomy. However, I do not support (RULE X) due to (the specific negative impact it will have on my choice/autonomy)/(the specific extra burden or barrier to care it will cause for me.) I suggest you replace this rule with language that ensures I am given appropriate informed consent and allowed to make my own health care choices.”
If you agree with all rules as written, then leave out the last half.

If you are kicked out of the hearing at any time due to technological failure, there will be a final opportunity to raise your hand at the end of the hearing to account for technical difficulties throughout the meeting as time allows.
